Method

  3. Whisk flour, parsley, sugar, yeast, and salt in mixer bowl.
  4. Add milk, egg, and cooled garlic butter. Knead with dough hook 10–12 minutes until smooth and tacky.
  5. Divide dough into 12 equal portions (about 67g each), shape into balls, and place in pan.
  6. Cover and let rise 1–2 hours until doubled.
  7. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Brush with beaten egg and bake 20–30 minutes until golden and internal temperature reaches 190°F.

Notes

Use a thermometer to check milk temperature for yeast activation. Knead dough until smooth for best rise. Brush garlic butter immediately after baking for maximum flavor.
